The main difference that you missed is that "black" ancestry come from Africa which is very homogeneous, culturally. So black people are of "African" descent. White folks are extremely varied and are not of the same ethnicities. To say that all lighter skinned people are under one "white" racial umbrella is kind of insulting. I am what I am, I'm not every other white ethnicity out there.

So let me get this straight, is Europe some kind of second rate continent? From which Whites cannot claim ancestral background? Is that only a privilege people descended from Africa can claim?
Just make some sense please.
Why don't you ask a Norwegian and a Swedish person that same question. You are missing the key word: "homogeneous" which is what Africa is (or was). Europeans are not "second rate" just because they are varied. I always thought that made them pretty cool. You are taking offense over something that should be celebrated: diversity. Europe has tons of it.
ps - to answer your edit: I don't think that all genocide was by white people. I keep saying that. I'm simply answering why the rest of it is not in day-to-day conversation. The other cultures you mention are, in fact, in history text books, genocide and all. It's not hidden.edit on 30-4-2011 by Cuervo because: Response to his edit.
The African continent is home to many different ethnic and racial groups, with wide-ranging phenotypical traits, both indigenous and foreign to the continent.[3] Many of these populations have diverse origins, with differing cultural, linguistic and social traits and mores. Distinctions within Africa's geography, such as the varying climates across the continent, have also served to nurture diverse lifestyles among its various populations. The continent's inhabitants live amidst deserts and jungles, as well as in modern cities across the continent

You realize Africa isn't a country? Why is Europe this land of divided peoples, but to you Africa has one identity, Africa isn't this blob of singular culture you seem to be deluded to thinking it is.

Public TV vilification for a few decades is ok. Wouldn't you say that's a good trade off considering your past? LOL
so you agree the system is against whites? because job application forms are a big part of the system.

That very well could be the case. I'm not going to argue that it is not fair because it is not. Heck, even "Caucasian" is a specific ethnic bio-region yet they like to statistically bunch up all white people in that category. I don't know any light-skinned people from the Caucus region yet they have to mark that on forms. I agree, it's crap.

Here I would like to talk about something that has been on my mind for a while now. Put simply, it has to do with the blantantly anti-White nature of the media (as well as the education system).
Let us not waste time and let us not mince words -- I'm just going to get straight to the point and ask a few very simple questions; hopefully I can provoke some thought.
Okay.....
1) Why is it that whenever "racism" is explored in a movie or on TV, the culprit is always, ALWAYS portrayed as White (generally a White male)?
ALWAYS? Your repeated use of mass generalities throughout your post reveals the ignorance and personal bias that is the true impetus for your writing. You are doing a dis-service to yourself when you make sweeping blanket statements.
2) Why is it that White Pride is always VICIOUSLY attacked on the media, while all other forms of racial pride are left alone?
ALWAYS! Theres that word again. 2) is a double-header of personal paranoia, if one examines the sentence structure. If you actually used some real examples you may be able to sway my opinion. Instead, gross blanket statement claims, again.
3) Why is it that at least 98% of TV/movie villians are White males?
I commend you for breaking away from using ALWAYS to a mere 98%. Since 98% is a number you pulled out of your imagination it does nothing to provide fact to to your claim. We can all make up numbers all day long. It's fun, but boring.
4) Why is it that the media is so very biased when it comes to reporting - or not reporting - certain crimes? Just do a search on these words: "Black Serial Killers".
Furthermore, why is it that very many non-Whites are actually classified as White in crime statistics?
BTW, hate crimes are committed against Whites regularly....you just never hear about it.
"Why is it that the media is so very biased when it comes to reporting" - that is where the sentence should have had a question mark.
5) why is it that White achievement (including that computer you're using now) is always downplayed and ignored?
ALWAYS! Sadly, this statement is so far from reality that I openly laugh in your face. You are trolling and pandering in such an obvious fashion I don't know how anyone is supposed to answer you seriously.
6) Why is it that the media and education system are always bringing up well-known "atrocities" committed by Whites (as if ALL Whites are responsible for such things) while completely ignoring evils committed by non-White peoples?
ALWAYS! Every single time! LOL! 6) is so completely wrong in what you claim that I am left in high spirits. I thank you for the good laugh. I ALWAYS appreciate a good lol.
I do think that this is all much, MUCH too frequent and consistent to be a mere coincidence.
So.....has anybody else noticed it?
Just what is behind this?
Goodness. This OP is a high-water mark, one to be remembered. If optimal trolling was your goal, you've definitely outed several racist bigots in your thread. If you really feel these things you have claimed in your heart, you have my deepest sympathy, my friend. Please get out of Mom's basement and visit all the wonderful towns full of real people across America. Exposing oneself to reality, to the big scary world, will be a wonderful learning opportunity for you. Safe travels, bon voyage!

I want to get this straight. You're upset because whites in your view are portrayed in a negative light?
Hmm, whites (not you) but your ancestors raped, and made slaves out of blacks for nearly 300 years and considered them to be 3/5ths of a human in a COUNTRY that was popularly known as 'THE LAND OF THE FREE"
After the whites 'freed' the slaves (even though they didn't really want to), they still had legislation in place to impede the black mans' growth.
After slavery was abolished, whites still looked at ''n-word's' as 3/5ths a human and continued to treat them that way. Then black people endured 100 more years of segregation, murder, lynching, social oppression, and mental abuse.
Finally, two strong leaders, and I mention only these two because they were prominent in all classes of blacks. MLK and Malcolm X (pre-Nation of Islam and post) came along and instilled a sense of self worth in African Americans. Made AA's confident and happy to be what they are after hundreds of years of striping their very identities.
Black became beautiful, the majority of AA's wanted to model themselves after these leaders. Wanted to get off the streets and attend universities.... But guess what happened... the government killed these two prominent figureheads.
Two figure heads set the standard for what is to be a proud strong AA's, in their PRIME was gunned down by the government run by who? Take a guess. PROUD WHITES.
Ever since then the majority of Blacks lost their sense of self-worth, pride and it's been a downward spiral ever since.
That black man that may have robbed you might have become a Harvard grad, if his mother or father had that strong figurehead of the civil rights still paving the road for AAs back in their day. But no, his mother had to read about his accomplishments, instead of experiencing them alongside him because some whites couldn't stand the fact that these two figures were gaining power, and unifying the black race.
300+ years of vilification VS 30 years of Vilification? This is nothing but cause and effect.. an effect that is the result of your or the American white ancestors mistreating not only the blacks, but deceiving and completely exterminating the Native Americans.
I'm going to hear "Well they can still follow their footsteps".
No, you can say that to a race that has retain some form of their culture to an extent... you can't say that to a group of people who has NO identity whatsoever, and is completely separated from the customs of their homeland. Those types of people need active leadership. The way Moses led the people out of Egypt, blacks needed that and WHITES destroyed that.
White ancestors put blacks in this position. Enslaved, took away culture, raped, debased them, then you freed them, and still debased them, we finally decide to stand up for ourselves in the 50s and 60s, and you KILL our LEADERS, and try to tarnish their legacy... and now you have the audacity to tell AA's to suck it up and prove themselves.. after you killed the two leaders that served as a BLUEPRINT of the strong AA man?
Unbelievable.
So when you see that thug in the street, or hear these ridiculously mediocre soulja boy songs that even I loathe, just know this is a product of the American White ancestors.
Only way for the American white man to assuage their guilt is to rebuild this country on principles that serve all races. This country was built on deception ,slavery, corruption and downright extermination; that's why this country can only survive if it practices these customs. (it currently practices deception & corruption)
This country needs to be built on true freedom, truth, and integrity.. it is the only solution.
Before people jump to conclusions, I do not advocate any form of racism, or separation. This is merely an observation and my comments on it as a whole.

You’re kidding right? You do live on and come from the planet earth right? I can tell they have no history books where you come from. White people rule the world and have since forever. The oppressed, enslaved, killed, beat and tortured other races simply to be in control of their land and recourses for thousands of years. And you feel like whites are being treated unfairly? I’m sorry but anyone that says whites don’t have it the best isn’t living in reality.
Here listen to your theory down the drain.
